Rehael
“God who receives sinners”
In short
Who is the angel Rehael?
Rehael is the 39th angel of the Shem HaMephorash, guardian of 10° to 15° Libra, active September 30 to October 4. An angel of the Powers under Camael, he radiates divine mercy and facilitates healings of a psychological and relational nature. He restores filial love, regenerates distended family bonds, and opens the way to authentic forgiveness. Those born under his influence display a disarming gentleness and an innate capacity to receive wounded beings without judgment or haste to fix them.
✡ Tradition and symbolism
Rehael is the 39th of the 72 angels of the Shem HaMephorash, a system drawn from the three Hebrew verses of Exodus 14:19-21 by the trilinear method. He belongs to the choir of Powers, under the authority of prince Camael, and governs 10° to 15° of Libra. This air sign, ruled by Venus, gives Rehael a particular sensitivity to dynamics of love, relationship, and harmony between beings — and to all that within those dynamics is wounded, broken, or awaiting the patient work of repair that only genuine presence can accomplish.
Tradition attributes to him above all the virtue of therapeutic mercy: he is the angel of those who heal through word, presence, and listening without judgment or rushing. He is invoked to repair father-son or mother-child relationships fractured by incomprehension or old wounds, to dissolve resentments inherited from generation to generation, and to allow forgiveness where it seemed permanently impossible. He fosters recognition toward parents and ancestors — not through blind obedience, but through gratitude for the chain of life that precedes and carries us. Christian Kabbalah also attributes to him action on mental health — the healing of tormented minds — and on the understanding of gentleness as sovereign power, not weakness, capable of achieving what force cannot.
Rehael reminds us that receiving someone in their pain without immediately wanting to fix them is one of the most difficult and precious gifts a human being can offer. In meditation, he invites us to sit before an old relational wound — not to judge it again, but to look at it with the eyes of the heart and let that gaze itself begin the healing. His breath is that of gradual forgiveness, which does not ask for forgetting but opens a space where suffering ceases to be the last word of the shared story.
📜 Traditional invocation verse
Tradition associates Rehael with Psalm 30:10, recited or meditated upon during invocation.
Meditation
Rehael, source of mercy that welcomes without condition, lay your gentleness upon the wounds I carry and those I have caused, and let forgiveness flow freely where resentment has resided too long.
Same choir — Powers (Camael)
